It’s about to get cold out there, so stay inside and stay warm while hanging out with some robots, zombies, bats and cultists this winter

The Underground Railroad

This 10-part series from Moonlight director Barry Jenkins follows the fraught journey of an escaped slave attempting to reach freedom via a network of abolitionists and safe havens running from the South to Canada. Nothing to do with expanding Johannesburg’s Gautrain service, then.

The Woman in the Window

Joe Wright’s psychological thriller was supposed to come out in 2019, and a delay is rarely a good sign; but with a cast this talented (including Amy Adams and Gary Oldman) we maintain high hopes. Adams plays a woman who thinks she witnesses a murder, but is she just imagining things? Let’s face it: probably not.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness

Capcom’s new animated Resident Evil series drops on 8 July and you want to watch it. Why? Because the voice talent from the amazing Resi 2 remake are reprising their roles as Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. There will, of course, be zombies, guns and, not so strangely, a trip to the White House.

S1 / Netflix

Love, Death & Robots

Do you like androids, ultra-violence and philosophising about free will, intelligence and the very meaning of life itself? A second batch of adult animated sci-fi tales has arrived on Netflix and, just like the first season, it’s heavy on all of the above. It also displays the same broad swathe of animation types as the original series.

The Vow

How exactly do seemingly ordinary people like get involved in cults? That is the poignant question The Vow asks as it explores the notorious NXIVM cult, which entrapped two famous Smallville actresses and a bunch of other ‘recruits’ in a situation involving sex slavery, forced labour and other criminal behaviour.

The Dark Knight

Showmax is dropping a whole host of action packed DC movies on its service over the winter period so, when you’re done with the best of the Nolan trilogy (c’mon, it’s not even close), you can check out the others, plus all of the other films you may have neglected while distracted by the shiny MCU.

DON’T MISS THIS

Army of the Dead Film / Netflix

Zack Snyder is a director who doesn’t always hit the mark: for every 300 or Dawn of the Dead, there’s a Sucker Punch or Dawn of Justice. But his flair for OTT action sequences looks to have found a suitable home in this, a blockbuster heist movie in which a Dirty Dozen-style mob of mercenaries venture into a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas to relieve a casino vault of a few million dollars. The major snag? Sin City is now swarming with zombies – and not the slow, shambling kind. Cue bullets, blood and undead tigers.
